The saying goes that defense wins championships, but there’s no denying the power of an electric offensive triplet. With a well-rounded attack through the air and on the ground, a team’s offense can be hard to stop. But which team has the best trio in the NFL?
Using a combination of PFSN+ metrics, box score production, and personal tape evaluation, I put together rankings of all 32 starting NFL quarterbacks, running backs, and each team’s top pass-catching weapon at either wide receiver or tight end.
I assigned points to each player based on their ranking on my list. For example, if a player were the best at their position, they would earn 32 points. The worst player would earn just one point, so on and so forth.
To take into account the weighted value of the quarterback position, I multiplied each of their point values by 1.4. I then added up the sum of the quarterback, running back, and pass catcher values to finalize my rankings. Without further ado, here are my rankings of every NFL offensive triplet group in 2025.
32) Cleveland Browns
Joe Flacco, Quinshon Judkins, Jerry Jeudy
With the lowest over-under win total from ESPN BET, the Cleveland Browns have a lot of question marks heading into the 2025 season. Their defense should be one of the better units in the league, but it remains to be seen what Joe Flacco can do at 40 years old with a thin group of weapons in the passing game.
Granted, Quinshon Judkins has the tools to become a quality NFL starting running back, and Jerry Jeudy is coming off a career year, even if he was only 55th in PFSN’s WR+ metric. But quarterback uncertainty, Jeudy’s inconsistency throughout his career, and Judkins being a rookie lands the Browns with the worst offensive triplet on this list.
31) Tennessee Titans
Cam Ward, Tony Pollard, Calvin Ridley
In a lot of cases, it can be tough to project how a rookie will perform in their first year in the NFL. That rings especially true at quarterback. Though Cam Ward is a gifted passer with a high ceiling, he doesn’t have enough to go off of as a professional quarterback to warrant a high ranking at his position.
He’s not an elite back, but Tony Pollard has quietly put up 1,000 rushing yards each of the last three seasons. Calvin Ridley has had consecutive 1,000-yard receiving seasons, too. A lack of true superstar power keeps the Titans near the bottom of this list, but this triplet group could rise if Ward translates well to the pros.
30) Pittsburgh Steelers
Aaron Rodgers, Jaylen Warren, DK Metcalf
The Pittsburgh Steelers arguably improved at both quarterback and wide receiver by swapping Russell Wilson and George Pickens out for Aaron Rodgers and DK Metcalf, respectively. Even still, that upgrade isn’t nearly enough to get them out from near the bottom of these rankings.
Rodgers is coming off a season which saw him rank 29th in PFSN’s QB+ metric with a 71.2 grade. At 41 years old, it’s hard to imagine a bounce back to his former MVP status in 2025. Jaylen Warren is a good complementary back but is unproven as a full-time starter, and Metcalf has always been a very good, but not elite wide receiver.
29) New England Patriots
Drake Maye, TreVeyon Henderson, Stefon Diggs
Of the trios that rank near the bottom of this list, I think the New England Patriots have the most potential to rise up the board by the end of the 2025 season. Most of why they rank this low revolves around small sample sizes their players have, though these triplets have plenty of potential.
Drake Maye started in 12 games as a rookie and went 3-9, but he made the Pro Bowl and displayed an intriguing combination of arm talent and agility. TreVeyon Henderson is just a rookie but brings elite speed to the running back position. If those two can pan out and Stefon Diggs recovers well from his torn ACL last year, watch out.
Drake Maye to TreVeyon Henderson.
OK THEN. 👀🔥

28) New Orleans Saints
Spencer Rattler, Alvin Kamara, Chris Olave
At 29 years old, Alvin Kamara had a career-high 950 rushing yards last season. Along with his usual strong receiving production, he has shown very few signs of slowing down any time soon. It’s the rest of the triplets that rank the New Orleans Saints this low.
Chris Olave started off his NFL career with consecutive 1,000-yard seasons, but he’s coming off an injury-shortened 2024 campaign and projects as a big question mark going into 2025. Combine that with a fifth-round quarterback in Year 2 who went 0-6 as a starter and threw more interceptions than touchdowns, and you have a major concern.
27) Carolina Panthers
Bryce Young, Chuba Hubbard, Tetairoa McMillan
Though he showed improvement near the end of the 2024 season, Bryce Young still placed just 32nd with a QB+ grade of 68.7. The Carolina Panthers hope that another offseason of development and the addition of first-round wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan can get the most out of their young quarterback.
McMillan was an All-American at Arizona last season, and it will be interesting to see how quickly things click for him on the Panthers. Chuba Hubbard is hardly the first name that comes to mind when you think of the NFL’s top running backs, but he’s been a solid starter the last two seasons and had a career-high 1,195 rushing yards in 2024.
26) New York Giants
Russell Wilson, Tyrone Tracy Jr., Malik Nabers
There’s reason to believe the New York Giants’ offense should be better this year, though it remains to be seen if that means the unit will actually be good. Russell Wilson figures to be an upgrade at quarterback but is coming off his second-worst season in 2024 with a 72.3 QB+ grade.
Tyrone Tracy Jr. showed encouraging flashes as a three-down running back as a rookie last year, though time will tell if he can replicate or improve upon that play in Year 2. Questions at the first two positions weigh the Giants down a bit, though Malik Nabers had a phenomenal rookie year and looks like a superstar receiver in the making.
25) New York Jets
Justin Fields, Breece Hall, Garrett Wilson
The New York Jets are the first team on this list without a player in the bottom five of their respective positions, which helps keep them from appearing too low. Their offensive triplets have shown more potential than sustained production in the NFL, though.
Justin Fields is now the unquestioned starter in New York. His elite athleticism and strong arm help him make plays, even if he’s wildly inconsistent. Breece Hall is a solid enough back but has yet to cross the 1,000-yard rushing mark. The highest-ranking player of the bunch is Garrett Wilson, who has 279 catches and 3,249 yards in three seasons.
24) Chicago Bears
Caleb Williams, D’Andre Swift, D.J. Moore
If this were a ranking of total offensive supporting cast, the Chicago Bears would definitely rank higher on this list. Unfortunately for them, they don’t get the luxury of Rome Odunze, Luther Burden, Cole Kmet or Colston Loveland boosting what’s otherwise a triplet group that doesn’t have a ton of high-end star power yet.
Caleb Williams was solid as a rookie but has a lot more to prove heading into 2024. D’Andre Swift nearly had 1,000 rushing yards again last year, but he averaged a career-low 3.8 yards per carry. D.J. Moore has caught over 90 passes in three of his last four seasons, so while he isn’t an elite wide receiver, he’s been quite reliable over the years.
23) Indianapolis Colts
Daniel Jones, Jonathan Taylor, Michael Pittman Jr.
Regardless of the news of Daniel Jones starting at quarterback over Anthony Richardson, the Indianapolis Colts were going to rank in the bottom half of this list due to the quarterback-slanted nature of the list. The rest of their triplets aren’t too shabby, however.
Michael Pittman Jr. ranks on the lower-end of WR1 players in the league, but he’s still a consistent weapon with 3,967 receiving yards in the last four years. But it’s Jonathan Taylor, who’s coming off a tremendous 1,400-yard rushing season in 2024, who helps prevent the Colts from ranking any lower on this list.
22) Denver Broncos
Bo Nix, J.K. Dobbins, Courtland Sutton
The Denver Broncos are held down by a few factors, including Bo Nix’s one-year sample size as a starter, J.K. Dobbins’ injury history, and Courtland Sutton’s average production the last few years before 2024. Last season, though, all three of them put together strong campaigns.
Nix threw 29 touchdowns and led the Broncos to the playoffs as a rookie. Finally playing close to a full season, Dobbins ran for 905 yards and nine touchdowns in 13 games and 11 starts as the Chargers’ lead running back. Throw in Sutton reaching the 1,000-yard receiving mark for the first time since 2019, and you have solid triplets on offense.
21) Jacksonville Jaguars
Trevor Lawrence, Tank Bigsby, Brian Thomas Jr.
Had the Jacksonville Jaguars gotten rookie year Travis Etienne out of him in 2024, there’s a good chance they would rank higher on this list with how well Brian Thomas Jr. performed as a rookie. Etienne fell short of expectations, but Tank Bigsby showed promise with 766 rushing yards and seven touchdowns on the ground last season.
Thomas exploded with 87 catches for 1,282 yards and ten touchdowns in a Pro Bowl rookie season. Trevor Lawrence went 2-8 as Jacksonville’s starter last season, but he missed nearly half the year due to injury and showed he’s a solid starting quarterback with his 2022 and 2023 performances.
20) Seattle Seahawks
Sam Darnold, Kenneth Walker, Jaxon Smith-Njigba
If the Seattle Seahawks can get the 2024 version of Sam Darnold in 2025, these triplets could rank much higher next season. However, it’s the journeyman nature of his career prior to last season that prevents him from truly ranking highly in the quarterback ranks.
Kenneth Walker struggled with injuries last year but still ran for seven touchdowns in 11 games. It’s the breakout year of Jaxon Smith-Njigba that helps Seattle get out of the bottom ten splits, though. He exploded for 100 receptions, 1,130 yards and six touchdowns in his second season with the team.
19) Green Bay Packers
Jordan Love, Josh Jacobs, Matthew Golden
The high-level play of Josh Jacobs helps propel the Green Bay Packers into the top 20. He ranked 12th with an 81.0 RB+ grade last year, and he ended up with 1,329 rushing yards and a career-high 15 rushing touchdowns. He’s one of the top backs in the game today.
After two seasons and two playoff appearances as the Packers’ starting quarterback, Jordan Love has shown that he’s a good starting quarterback who can lead them into the postseason. Green Bay finishes in the bottom half of this list for having a rookie as their projected WR1. As talented as Matthew Golden is, he’s a question mark as the top target.
18) Minnesota Vikings
J.J. McCarthy, Aaron Jones, Justin Jefferson
Things start off well enough for the Minnesota Vikings in these triplet rankings, as Justin Jefferson has consistently been one of, if not the best wide receiver in the NFL for much of his career. He comes ranked second among pass-catching weapons behind only former LSU teammate Ja’Marr Chase.
Aaron Jones silenced any questions of regression in his age-30 season last year, rushing for 1,138 yards in Minnesota. The big question here is how J.J. McCarthy performs, having missed his entire rookie year to injury and entering the 2025 season as an NFL starting quarterback for the first time.
17) Miami Dolphins
Tua Tagovailoa, De’Von Achane, Tyreek Hill
There’s potential for the Miami Dolphins’ group of offensive triplets to rank higher on this board if Tua Tagovailoa stays healthy in 2025. He led the NFL with a 72.9% completion percentage last year, and his team went 2-4 with offensive regression in the games he missed.
De’Von Achane saw his yards per carry drop from 7.8 in 2023 to 4.5 in 2024, but he’s still an explosive back with big-play potential. Tyreek Hill has been an elite wide receiver for much of his NFL career, but he’ll need more consistency this year for Miami’s trio to rank higher. He had six games with fewer than 30 receiving yards last season.
16) Atlanta Falcons
Michael Penix Jr., Bijan Robinson, Drake London
The reason the Atlanta Falcons rank just 16th overall comes down mostly to Michael Penix Jr. being an unproven starting quarterback in the NFL. Three starts is hardly enough to come to a conclusion on his level of play, hurting his team’s overall ranking in a quarterback-friendly grading formula.
Otherwise, the Falcons have two star weapons in Bijan Robinson and Drake London. Robinson ranked fifth with an RB+ grade of 88.1 last year, reaching 1,887 yards from scrimmage and 15 total touchdowns. London cemented himself as a true WR1 in the NFL, finishing 2024 with 100 catches for 1,271 yards and nine touchdowns.
My biggest take away from training camp is that London to Penix is going to be special.
When Penix was asked a few months earlier if London was under appreciated around the league, he replied with “He won’t be after this year”

15) Washington Commanders
Jayden Daniels, Brian Robinson Jr., Terry McLaurin
Amidst trade rumors surrounding both Brian Robinson Jr. and Terry McLaurin, there’s no guarantee the Washington Commanders rank this highly if we do this list over in 2026. For the time being, their triplets rank in the top half of this list due to a special connection in the passing game.
McLaurin ranked ninth in WR+ grading at 85.8, scoring a career-high 13 touchdowns last season. Jayden Daniels was phenomenal as a rookie, finishing with over 4,500 yards of offense in a Pro Bowl campaign that saw Washington make it to the NFC Championship. The lack of a high-end starting running back prevents them from ranking any higher.
14) Kansas City Chiefs
Patrick Mahomes, Isiah Pacheco, Travis Kelce
At this stage in his career, it’s fair to expect that Patrick Mahomes will be one of the best quarterbacks in the league each season. Even if his 2024 season wasn’t individually his best, he still finished in the top ten in PFSN’s QB+ metric.
Travis Kelce gets the slight edge over Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy, and while the veteran tight end has fallen short of 1,000 yards the last two seasons, he hasn’t missed a Pro Bowl nomination since 2014. Isiah Pacheco could bounce back after missing ten games to injury last year, but even when he was healthy, he had just 3.7 yards per carry.
13) Arizona Cardinals
Kyler Murray, James Conner, Trey McBride
Perhaps the most slept-on triplets in these rankings, the Arizona Cardinals have above-average starters at quarterback, running back, and tight end. James Conner ranked sixth in the league in RB+ grading last year, and he had a career-high 1,508 yards from scrimmage. He’s one of the most underrated backs in the game.
Kyler Murray finally reminded the NFL of what he can be when he stays healthy in 2024, and it’s no coincidence his healthiest season since 2021 marked the best record the Cardinals have had since that year. Trey McBride finished second among tight ends in catches and receiving yards, cementing himself as one of his position’s elite.
12) Dallas Cowboys
Dak Prescott, Javonte Williams, CeeDee Lamb
If the Dallas Cowboys had even an average starter at running back, they would push for a top-five spot on this list. Unfortunately for them, Javonte Williams is coming off a season with just 3.7 yards per carry and 513 rushing yards as Denver’s primary starting back. Otherwise, the Cowboys have a dynamic passing tandem to work with.
CeeDee Lamb has been a Pro Bowl each of the last four seasons and an All-Pro each of his last two. His numbers fell slightly with the absence of Dak Prescott for half of 2024, but when the two are on the field at the same time, both of them are Pro Bowl-caliber players at their respective positions.
11) Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Baker Mayfield, Bucky Irving, Mike Evans
Baker Mayfield underwent a career resurgence in 2023, and he proved in 2024 that the previous year wasn’t just a flash in the pan. He finished seventh with an 85.7 QB+ grade, the best of his career to date. He reached career highs with 4,500 passing yards, 41 passing touchdowns, and a 71.4% completion percentage.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have a strong supporting cast around Mayfield, too. Mike Evans has surpassed 1,000 yards in all 11 seasons he’s played in the NFL, making him the topic of many Hall of Fame conversations as of late. They’re joined by Bucky Irving, who came out of nowhere with 1,122 rushing yards as a fourth-round rookie last year.
10) Los Angeles Chargers
Justin Herbert, Omarion Hampton, Ladd McConkey
Ranking the Los Angeles Chargers this high is somewhat of a projection, seeing as though Omarion Hampton is only a rookie at running back. As a first-round pick, though, I feel much more confident with a rookie entering the season as the projected top running back than I do starting at quarterback or wide receiver.
Justin Herbert has consistently been a great quarterback through his NFL career, and he’s coming off a 2024 campaign which saw him throw 23 touchdowns to just three picks. A key storyline for the Chargers will be the continued development of Ladd McConkey, who had a stellar rookie year with 82 catches for 1,149 yards and seven touchdowns.
9) Las Vegas Raiders
Geno Smith, Ashton Jeanty, Brock Bowers
As mentioned with the Chargers, the Las Vegas Raiders are also a slight projection since Ashton Jeanty is a rookie. However, judging by his stellar collegiate tape at Boise State, he is no ordinary rookie running back. He has the potential to hit the ground running as one of the NFL’s best at his position right out of the gate.
Ashton Jeanty and Brock Bowers are going to do some damage together. pic.twitter.com/uCHk7rNabm
— Parker Gabriel (@ParkerJGabriel) August 16, 2025
Jeanty is joined by Brock Bowers, who broke the rookie records for both total receptions and tight end receiving yards in 2024. The All-Pro tight end should be a strong top target for Geno Smith, who graded 18th in PFSN’s QB+ grading last year but should still be a huge upgrade over Las Vegas’ quarterback play from 2024.
8) Buffalo Bills
Josh Allen, James Cook, Khalil Shakir
The Buffalo Bills have the reigning MVP and the top-graded quarterback by PFSN’s QB+ metric in Josh Allen, which helps the ranking of their offensive triplets significantly. His presence in their offense practically locked them into the top half, but having James Cook, who led the NFL with 16 rushing touchdowns in 2024, gets them into the top ten.
The one position that holds the Bills back from reaching the league’s elite is wide receiver. Khalil Shakir is an encouraging young receiver who has improved every year in the league, but he still hasn’t surpassed 1,000 yards in a single season. He would be a high-end WR2, but he comes in as a low-end WR1.
7) San Francisco 49ers
Brock Purdy, Christian McCaffrey, George Kittle
If Christian McCaffrey bounces back to his Offensive Player of the Year pre-injury form, the San Francisco 49ers would rank even higher on this list. Nonetheless, he still ranks as one of the top running backs in the league, and the 49ers still finish with one of the top triplets in the game.
George Kittle was a second-team All-Pro in 2024, and he’s coming off consecutive 1,000-yard seasons, which isn’t easy to do at the tight end position. Even though Brock Purdy isn’t an elite quarterback, he’s certainly good enough to help the 49ers sit comfortably inside the top ten of these rankings.
6) Houston Texans
C.J. Stroud, Joe Mixon, Nico Collins
Even though the Houston Texans’ offense wasn’t as dynamic in 2024 as it was in 2023, they still have one of the top offensive trios in the game. C.J. Stroud took a slight step back in Year 2, but he still finished with over 3,700 passing yards and led Houston to a 10-7 record.
Joe Mixon’s availability for the start of 2025 is in question, but he was still fantastic last year, surpassing 1,000 rushing yards and 11 rushing touchdowns despite missing three games. Nico Collins also missed five games to injury last year, but he still ended up with over 1,000 receiving yards, which speaks to how efficient he was when healthy.
5) Los Angeles Rams
Matthew Stafford, Kyren Williams, Puka Nacua
The Los Angeles Rams have strong offensive starters throughout their trio, and this group doesn’t even include Davante Adams. Matthew Stafford had a 93.7 passer rating with 3,763 passing yards last year, and Kyren Williams finished with 1,299 rushing yards and 14 rushing touchdowns in another great campaign.
Though injury forced him to miss six games in 2024, Puka Nacua was fantastic in Year 2, leading our WR+ metrics with a 98.2 grade. He finished with more receptions and receiving yards per game than he did in his stellar rookie year. The Rams’ well-rounded group of offensive triplets make them a worthy addition to the top five of this list.
4) Cincinnati Bengals
Joe Burrow, Chase Brown, Ja’Marr Chase
If Chase Brown keeps up the level of play he showed in the second half of 2024, the Cincinnati Bengals will finish even higher on this list by the end of the year. He, Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase all ended with at least top-12 grades for their respective positions in RB+, QB+, and WR+, respectively.
Burrow led the NFL in passing yards and passing touchdowns in 2024, and Chase hit the receiving Triple Crown, leading the league in receptions, receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns. Both of them are at least top-five players at their respective positions, and Brown has the potential to end 2025 as a top-ten running back.
3) Baltimore Ravens
Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry, Zay Flowers
The Baltimore Ravens saw just how dangerous their offense can be with both Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry in their backfield. Jackson placed second in the NFL with a 95.0 QB+ grade, and Henry led the league with a 93.1 RB+ grade. Both of them are elite at their respective positions.
That alone would rank the Ravens highly, but the growth of Zay Flowers in his second season in the NFL gets them in the top three. He made the Pro Bowl and cracked 1,000 receiving yards for the first time, and if he continues to develop at the pace he did from Year 1 to Year 2, Baltimore’s triplets could top this list by the end of 2025.
2) Detroit Lions
Jared Goff, Jahmyr Gibbs, Amon-Ra St. Brown
There were two teams in the NFL who had triplets finish with PFSN’s advanced metrics in the top four at each of their respective positions. One of those teams was the Detroit Lions. Jared Goff placed third in QB+, Jahmyr Gibbs finished second in RB+, and Amon-Ra St. Brown placed third in WR+.
Even with the loss of Ben Johnson to Chicago’s head coaching job, the Lions’ offense should still fire off without a hitch. Their elite group of offensive triplets is complemented by a strong offensive line and other top weapons like Jameson Williams, Sam LaPorta, and David Montgomery. That should keep
1) Philadelphia Eagles
Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley, A.J. Brown
The Philadelphia Eagles won the Super Bowl last season for a vast variety of reasons. One of those key components was their elite group of offensive weapons around star quarterback Jalen Hurts. He, Saquon Barkley, and A.J. Brown all finished with top four grades in their respective PFSN positional metrics.
Barkley won the Offensive Player of the Year in 2024, and he finished third in MVP voting. Brown ended the year as a second-team All-Pro, and Hurts was the Super Bowl MVP. Their elite individual performances, along with their combined successes as a team, give them the top group of offensive triplets in the NFL.
